HOW IT STARTED
Four brothers and 30 years ago- a small Italian restaurant was born in Tempe, serving beef subs, Grandpa Cesare's sausage recipe, Grandma Cleone's spaghetti sauce, cheesecake, and our original deep dish pizza.

Our little Nello's grew into an award winning "Best of Phoenix" restaurant year after year, after year... after year. Family recipes, family genius and family drama all keep Nello's going 30 years later to new generations of pasta and pizza connoisseurs.

A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE NELLO’S AHWATUKEE UNIQUE:
We are the only Nello’s location to use a wood fire oven, which was imported from Italy.
Our pasta is made in-house daily.
We stretch our own mozzarella.
Some of our meats are smoked and cured in-house.
All desserts are made from scratch in-house.
We support local Arizona farms by purchasing their seasonal produce whenever possible.

    Great service and the food was fantastic. I had the chicken parm and my husband had the mushroom pizza, both were delicious.

    This is my go to restauran. The food and service are excellent. It was our wedding anniversary … they ask “special occasion” … what for? The food was excellent … the restaurant was really busy and the service slow and the waitress always in a hurry … first time I give a 4 star … she was nice, kind but hard to contact as she was terribly busy. We had to ask a busboy for cream for the coffee. I will be back but Friday’s seem not always the best day. It is noisy but I can’t see no way to reduce the noise. It will continue to be my “home restaurant” because the food is excellent, the price ok, the staff outstanding (kind) and the pick up service, which I use often, it is fantastic
